        Fantastic. I couldn’t make out what was in between the couches at first and then realized it’s a crt/plasma big screen that probably weighs 400lbs. The couches are held at the bottom though by one rope so looks good. Can’t imagine anything going wrong.

        Good old Louisiana

      If you have a 22 foot long truck, you should understand that normal infrastructure is not built for you. Either park way at the back of the lot where you’re not inconveniencing people, or on the street.

      Because its too long to park without sticking out into traffic?

      Like I don’t care what you’re using it for, if you cannot park it properly, then don’t take buy it or at least don’t take it with you.

      Most vans and pickups aren’t even that long so it’s not even as if it’s necessitates being that long either.

      Ikeas have super large parking spots, they have parking spots for big vehicles and buses. If your car can’t fit there, you bought the biggest asshole car in the universe

      I don’t think ikea even sells furniture that requires such gigantic vehicles in the first place.

      That said, furniture is an excellent example of why you could just drive a normal vehicle, a bicycle or a bus to go windowshopping and later have the new furniture delivered to your doorstep by a specialised company and/or vehicle or rent a specialised vehicle for the odd occasion. The cost for society will actually be a damn lot lower.
